I'm in the process of installing a kit from inline tube on my Challenger. So far it looks to fit real good and the kit looks like nice quality. I got my kit in stainless steel.

I went with The Right Stuff and have been very happy. Several local guys had leaks with Fine Line's. They all switched to The Right Stuff and no more leaks.

That is Fine lines lines don't leak. I have done 2 cars with them and actually drive them now for over 5 years and more on my 74. I have made plenty of steel lines, it is not hard to make a good line with a good double flaring tool. So it really don't matter who makes the ends, they all should be the same, it's the bends that might be different between suppliers.

Many things cause leaks, usally caused by the installer.

Fine lines and Right Stuff are both great products, I've used both, although i prefer Fine lines stainless steel lines, better selection/coverage on various models as equipped




I find that most people that have problems with steel or stainless lines leaking, the root cause is usually due to IE (installation error)

Yeah, probably. Just giving my observations from my limited personal experience.
